The first Indian newspaper was brought out by Gangadhar Bhattacharya.
By the end of the eighteenth century, several newspapers and journals were in print. Some Indians also published Indian newspapers. The weekly Bengal Gazette, published by Gangadhar Bhattacharya, a close friend of Rammohun Roy, was the first newspaper.
